With the game's release approching, a question comes often on the internet: will Harry Potter and his friends Hermione and Ron be present in the game? A legitimate question if we remember the first teaser of the game where we saw a wizard looking like Harry on his Hippogriff.
The answer is no. Hogwarts Legacy takes place at the end of the 19th century and the story begins very precisely on September 1, 1890. The player then embodies a student who must enter the 5th year directly and who controls a very rare form of ancient magic. The developers indicated it in the interview following the very complete gameplay trailer of Thursday March 17: their desire was to create a universe familiar to fans of the Harry Potter saga but in which they could live their own story.
The synopsis of the game was explained via the trailer and the PlayStation Blog: accompanied by Professor Eleazar Fig , we must investigate the Goblin Rebellion currently underway and use ancient magic to reveal buried secrets. The leader of the goblins is called Rannrok and he is accompanied by a powerful dark mage called Victor Rookwood.
Not Harry but other known characters from books and movies!
This may be sad news for fans of JK Rowling's novels or for those who dreamed of seeing Daniel Radcliffe in a video game version (especially since he announced that he did not want to play in an adaptation of the 'Cursed Child at the cinema), but rest assured: this will in no way affect the quality of Hogwarts Legacy. Especially since many references will be present in the walls of the castle and around.
The recent gameplay trailer even shows us that well-known characters like Nearly Headless Nick and Peeves will be in the game as well as three other well-known characters from the books and movies. Who knows ? Maybe we might even come across young Albus Dumbledore returning to Hogwarts in 1892!

Nowadays even solo games tend to require internet to be played, but is it the case for the new Harry Potter game?
